Minnesota Vikings: Champions!

The Minnesota Vikings are still the reigning champions when it comes to one thing — getting arrested. The Vikings have a league-leading 39 arrests since 2000 and we’ve got all of them for you right here.

By comparison, in that same period, the Green Bay Packers have 17 arrests. Three of those belong to Johnny Jolly, two to Brandon Underwood and two to Joe Johnson. In all, 13 Packers have been arrested since 2000.

The Vikings, on the other hand, have had a league-leading 10 arrests in the past 18 months. The latest, of course, is running backAdrian Peterson.

Our favorite incident is and will always remain the Love Boat. As usual, the Minnesota Vikings are the epitome of class.

Caleb King

Arrested in relation to assault that fractured a man’s skull. Fight allegedly started after victim said King looked like comedian Eddie Murphy.

As I read the list, I kept humming that stupid fight song with the horn blaring in the background. It needed that rah rah spirit only they artificially can pump in to the Hump-ti-dome to make it feel like the victory parade they’ve never had.
Skol this!
